"One of the clearest trends emerging from Barcelona's season so far is how goals are now being shared across the squad. The numbers strongly suggest that Hansi Flick is deliberately easing the scoring burden away from Robert Lewandowski, not only by sidelining him, but by creating a more balanced and unpredictable attacking structure. Rather than relying on a single scoring point, Barcelona now boast multiple players contributing regularly in front of goal."
"To put things in perspective, as many as five players have already reached double figures in all competitions, with two more close behind, which is a significant shift from recent seasons. A look at the numbers At the top of the list is Ferran Torres with 15 goals, followed by Raphinha on 12. Lamine Yamal, who reached an impressive 100-goal milestone, and Lewandowski are level on 11, while Fermin Lopez has reached 10."
"The picture becomes even more interesting in the UEFA Champions League. Here, the usual hierarchy is flipped. This is because Fermin leads with five goals, closely followed by Rashford on four. Ferran, Lamine, and Jules Kounde have each scored twice, while Lewandowski and Olmo sit on one apiece. Notably, Raphinha is yet to score in the competition so far, meaning even more variation could follow."
Goals are now distributed across Barcelona's squad rather than concentrated in a single scorer. Ferran Torres leads with 15 goals, Raphinha has 12, Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski have 11, and Fermin López has 10. Marcus Rashford (8) and Dani Olmo (7) provide additional scoring options. In La Liga Ferran has 11, Lewandowski 9, and Raphinha and Lamine 8, with Olmo, Fermin and Rashford also contributing. The Champions League shows a different hierarchy: Fermin leads with five, Rashford four, Ferran, Lamine and Kounde two each, and Lewandowski and Olmo one apiece. Domestic cups also feature varied scorers across competitions.
